We are now one month into the program, the companies are out of a few weeks of intense meetings with key mentors from their respective industries, enabling them to put their recent achievements in perspective.

In September I wrote about Boston’s Ecosystem Investment Trends, and the focus for this Techstars class. Our focus was going to be on supporting mostly companies focussed on SaaS transition or Data/AI – and the Boston did not fail to deliver. We have a remarkable class of startups about to embark on their vision, or continue pioneering in their industry. Here’s how they fit in with what we had planned.

Below is a non-exhaustive list of the companies, we have one other company that will be revealed later.

The 12th class for the city, 147 companies have been through Techstars Boston, and this is the 122nd class overall for Techstars as a global accelerator. Boston is proud to have helped bring PillPack, Localytics, Placester and Synack to market – just to name a few.

We are also proud to have an incredible mentor network, stretching from alumni, to some of the most successful entrepreneurs in the Boston. Its with the help of this Techstars community that makes the experience what it is today. So thank you all. Thank You mentors for your continuous empowerment of entrepreneurs. Thank You to the community for your support of our founders and their startup ideas. And Thank You to all the startups which applied and didn’t get in – we’re all on the same path to greatness, and we have no doubt you will do Boston proud either way.
